| EFL WILDWOOD, N.J. -- A live-target paintball game in which patrons take aim at runners dressed as Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden has drawn fire from critics who say the game is tasteless and can only encourage violence against Arabs. "We don't need any more games that would encourage people to hate Arabs or kill them," said Aref Assaf, president of the New Jersey Chapter of American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. They should just substitute Knute Gingrich and Sean Hannity masks. It is NJ afterwall. W would be a popular choice among the leftist locals but it is doubtfull that the Secret Service would approve. |

| #3 "We don’t need any more games that would encourage people to hate Arabs or kill them," -I just thought the game was encouraging people to hate and kill Osama & Saddam. I can't see anything wrong w/that. |

| #2 Yet gassing tens of thousands and murdering thousands of innocent civilians in NYC does NOT encourage people to hate Arabs. How many shots can I get for 50 bucks? |
